Feminist Therapy
Healing Through Empowerment, Identity, and Social Awareness
Feminist Therapy is a compassionate, strengths-based approach that recognizes how personal experiences are deeply shaped by relationships, culture, identity, and systems of power.
Rather than viewing distress as something “wrong” within you, feminist therapy honors your lived experience, including how gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, and social expectations impact mental health.
This approach centers collaboration, empowerment, and authenticity, helping you reconnect with your voice, values, and inner wisdom while building tools for meaningful change.
How Does Feminist Therapy Work?
A Grounded, Personalized Approach
At Roots to Ground, feminist therapy is never one-size-fits-all.
Our clinicians bring a diverse toolbox of evidence-based approaches and lived experience to meet you exactly where you are. We believe meaningful change happens when you feel truly comfortable, deeply understood, and supported as you grow in a space rooted in connection and care.
You are an active collaborator in your healing. Your therapist honors your pace, your story, and your goals while integrating other therapeutic modalities as needed to best support you.
Because our team reflects the community we serve, you’re more likely to find a clinician who truly “gets” your world whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, trauma, or life transitions.

What makes Feminist Therapy different from traditional approaches?
